TrekBuddy 0.9.92 J2ME {application to be used with a GPS receiver}



TrekBuddy is a J2ME application to be used with a GPS receiver.

Trekbuddy is a J2ME application to be used with a [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] receiver. It is designed to work with every Java-enabled device.

It features capabilities such as:

* GPS tracking and simple navigation
* bitmap maps (without zoom, you can store bitmap maps with different resolution instead)
* arrange maps as atlas for increasing and decreasing resolution
* trackloging in NMEA or GPX format
* simple navigation (to a single waypoint or along a route)
* compas screen (HPS)
* cockpit screen (CMS)
* location sharing via SMS with other trekbuddies

and more.

It supports most commonly used map projections and grids, such as:

* Latitude/Longitude
* Mercator
* Transverse Mercator
* Universal Transverse Mercator
* Swedish Grid
* British National Grid
* Irish Grid
* Swiss Grid
* Lambert France I-IV
* Lambert Conformal Conic

as well as custom datums.

As a location source:

* bluetooth or serial port GPS
* internal (integrated) GPS
* NMEA file
* HGE-100 device
* O2 Germany network

may be used.

Requirements:

· MIDP 2.0, CLDC 1.1
· In order to get position info, the phone should either:
· have internal GPS and support Location API (JSR-179), or
· have [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and support Bluetooth API (JSR-82), or
· have serial/USB/IrDa port and support CommConnection
· In order to use custom maps, it is very important that the phone supports FileConnection API (JSR-75/FileConnection).

Change-log

fixed several minor UI annoyances
· selectable startup screen (Settings->Basic->Startup screen)
· font size setting with 3 sizes (Settings->Desktop->Font size)
· line (trail, route) settings should work on most platform
· added support for hw compass (orientation sensor) on Android - shown as another, thicker "needle" on compass screen; showing on map screen is "todo"
